Home made museli

Thanks to the lovely Emma I decided (read= was hounded till I made it) to make some toasted museli. This is the stuff that deli's will charge an absolute fortune for. Throw in the word "organic" and you've got museli worth more than the price of gold.
However.....
It's so simple and doesn't take much time to do it. It also only has a tiny bit of sugar and fat but heaps of taste! Just get yourself a large plastic pourer from the supermarket and it's stored in the pantry ready for breakfast.
Toasted Museli

1kg rolled oats
200g bag slivered almonds
1 cup dessicated coconut
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tbls vegetable oil

Dried fruit to add at the end can be anything you like. I included chopped apricots and dates.

Combine all dry ingredients well then add the liquid. Stir until combined and coated really well.
Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius. Take a couple of flat baking trays and line with baking paper. Pour a 1cm thick layer of mixture on the baking paper and put in oven for about 20-25 mins. Take the tray out after about 15 mins and toss mixture so it cooks evenly. Return to oven till it's a light golden brown.

Wait until it's completely cooled before adding dry fruit and storing in an airtight container. Yum!
